At some time in their young lives every little boy, and probably plenty of girls too have wanted to play at being a pirate. Following the success of the Pirates of The Caribbean movies there’s been a huge upsurge in interest for everything to do with pirates, and playing with toy pirate figures is one of the best ways to act out that role. Papo make some superbly detailed pirate figurines in a huge variety of poses and costumes, and combined with pirate ships, rafts and treasure island playsets the scene is set for some great bedroom floor battles!
Naturally the toy pirate figures need an opponent to fight when they’re not squabbling amongst themselves, and officers and men of the Royal Navy are the perfect enemy. Naturally all pirate figures have plenty of weapons to choose from including daggers, swords and pistols, and some even have cannons and grappling hooks to help them onboard an enemy’s ship.
Some of the best accessories are made by wooden toy makers like Le Toy Van with their Barbarossa wooden pirate ship that is perfectly scaled to fit the toy pirate figures. Lego and Playmobil both have toy pirate figures and ships in their ranges for many years – some can even be fitted with a keel to make them float in the bath! It seems that UK kids have a never ending appetite for anything to do with pirates!
